"Cannot create file" debug error message

Ash · Post by **Ash** » Mon Aug 16, 2004 6:59 am

After exiting part way through a script while using the single step debug tool I get the following error message whenever I try to run the script again:

"Cannot create file "......|_debug.dbg. The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process."

How do I recover from this and stop it from happening?

Found postings about this problem in Technical/Scripting, starting May 26 2004. Seems to be caused in my script by WaitWindowOpen commands. Find I have to use Task Manager to exit Macro Scheduler to allow the _debug file to be deleted.

Possibility is that WaitWindowOpen is still waiting. The command should drop out of the loop when debug ends, so sounds like a bug in our code. Will get it checked out for next release. Thanks for the feedback on this.
